Georgia taxpayers should begin seeing income tax refunds from the state soon.
Most eligible taxpayers who filed timely state returns for 2024 and 2025 can expect one-time rebates of $250 for individuals, $375 for heads of household, and $500 for married couples filing jointly.
The payouts stem from legislation, unanimously approved by the Georgia House and Senate, through House Bill 100. They are funded in the amended budget for the current fiscal year at an estimated cost of about $1.2 billion.
“Our team is ready to deliver these refunds efficiently and securely to Georgia taxpayers,” David Burge said in a statement on Monday.
The rebate was a priority for Gov. Brian Kemp, who has described it as the fourth such refund under his administration.
Kemp’s office said Monday that most taxpayers should see the money “within the coming weeks,” with the governor adding that Georgians “know best how to spend their money, not the government.”
Taxpayers who know their federally adjusted gross income can check eligibility for the rebate at the Georgia Tax Center. More information is available at the Georgia Department of Revenue surplus refund information.
